What is Synaptic Cleft?
A synaptic cleft is a space that separates the two neurons and forms a junction between two or more neurons and it also helps nerve impulses to pass from one neuron to the other one. Synaptic cleft has connections with neurology and the brain. It is also known as the synaptic gap.
Synaptic Cleft- Anatomy, Structure, Disease & Function
Synaptic Cleft: The neurons are the functional units of the nervous system which transmit electrical impulses from one neuron to the other. The space between the two neurons across the impulse which is transmitted by a neurotransmitter is called the synaptic cleft. The synaptic cleft is also known as the synaptic gap. It is important for the cells to communicate using chemical transmission.
